The three start off the podcast by talking about what are some of the major barriers preventing women from running for office.

One point that Gwyn highlights in the podcast is that Jennifer and Dan’s survey focuses on local elected officials, not at the state legislative level. While state elected officials have staff and support systems, local elected officials usually don’t have their own staff, and boards sometimes rely heavily on clerks.

Dan and Jennifer do a great job of walking through what the barriers are to women running for office and what can be done to help eliminate those barriers.
